Can a Catholic eat meat on Friday the 25th of March?

Roman Catholic AnswerYes: Abstinence from meat, or from some other food as determined by the Episcopal Conference, is to be observed on all Fridays, unless a solemnity should fall on a Friday.There are two solemnities that can fall during Lent: the Annunciation of the Lord and Saint Joseph's Day. Whenever either of these solemnities falls on a Friday, the faithful are dispensed from the requirement to abstain from meat.You may have noted as well that Canon 1251 doesn't single out Fridays in Lent but says that "Abstinence . . . is to be observed on all Fridays". Many Catholics do not realize that the Catholic Church still requires Catholics to abstain on all Fridays of the year, either from meat or from some other good thing (as determined by each country's national conference of bishops).
